[T]here is an international conference about to happen in the United Kingdom by March. It’s called the Service Oriented Architecture conference and from the word itself, we can deduce that it’s a convocation of architects who are more concerned on building infrastructures that will benefit the majority of the people rather than benefiting the owners of the infrastructures. And some of these British architects are actually working in impoverished nations like the Solomon Islands or Cameroon. Another conference that is taking place in the United Kingdom will be the Society for Technical Communication annual dinner. It’s not just a dinner; there will ... be lectures on various topics from XML to content management and collaborative writing. This conference is aimed for highly technical writers who are employed by highly technical corporations.
